Route Description
Interstate 520 begins at Interstate 20 in the northwest part of Augusta, and hooks around to the south and then east, crossing the Savannah River and crossing the Georgia — South Carolina state line before heading to the north to meet back up with Interstate 20. Its terminus is at Interstate 20 in North Augusta, South Carolina. The westernmost three miles are three lanes in each direction, with the remainder of the interstate having two lanes in each direction.
In Georgia, I-520 is named the Bobby Jones Expressway for golfer Bobby Jones; in South Carolina it is named the Palmetto Parkway for the sabal palmetto, the state tree. I-520 loses its state route designation in South Carolina, as it does not co-number its interstates with state highway numbers.
Although undesignated, the Bobby Jones Expressway continues north of I-20 in Georgia to have an interchange with Scott Nixon Memorial Drive and is designated as Georgia State Route 232.

“But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
